Question

Hey guys! I need some help here Uhm please do not plagiarize I do use a plagerizam check! Please help though! 2. Olivia is buying juice boxes for a party. She is comparing two brands to determine the best price. The price for a carton containing 8 boxes of All Natural Juice is $2.80. The price for a carton containing 6 boxes of Just Juice is $1.98.

(a) What is the difference between the unit prices of each brand of juice? Show your work.
(b) Olivia paid $7.92 for several cartons of Just Juice. How many cartons did she purchase? What would the price be for the same number of juice boxes of All Natural Juice? Show your work.

Answer 1

2.80- 1.98= 0.82

A.) The difference is $0.82

16 boxes (I multiplied 2.80 by two which is 16 boxes)= $5.60

6 boxes= $1.98

22 boxes= $7.58 (I just added the price of 16 boxes and 6 boxes together.) If 22 boxes is worth $7.58 then I can make an educated guess and say that she got 23 boxes of Juice.

Now the answer is somewhat confusing because 23 boxes of juice gives a total price of $7.91 which is one cent off of what Olivia paid, however, each juice box is accounted to be $0.33. That means the total amount of Juice boxes cannot go over 23 but it cannot be lower than 23 either.

I'm going to say that Olivia bought 23 boxes of Juice for a total price of $7.91.

Each Juice Carton amounts to $0.33 as divided by 6 boxes for $1.98.
